At Sunday night's meeting, the
Student Senate approved a pro-posal
to spend $10,000 on a
scholarship endowment. The
decisive vote came after a
lengthy and sometimes bitter
debate. The proposal was approv-ed
by a vote of 19 to 13.
The senate also gave final ap-proval
to this year's budget. The
budget calls for $109,569 in spend-ing.
The tentative budget, which
was approved last spring, had
called for expenditures totaling
$90,172.
Senate President Lynn Folse
began the meeting by announcing
that the scholarship proposal had
been separated from the final
budget approval on the agenda
for the meeting. This had been
done because the proposal had
become such a controversial
topic. Folse said that the proposal
had caused more controversy on

Kool-Ray in concert
This year IWU celebrates

10, from 9 p.m.-12 a.m. in

$ .50 at the door for IWU students

Kool-Ray and the Polaroidz
come from Peoria and are known
for their quick beat '60's rock 'n
roll, including numerous Beatles'
numbers.
They currently have an album
released and their own song
"Nervous Breakdown" is achiev-ing
popularity in this area.
Tim Brophy, a member of the
concert planning committee, has
seen Kool-Ray and is highly im-pressed.
"The group is really
entertainment galore, it's a show
- no slow stuff," he commented.
campus than anything else she
could remember.
Before the debate on the
scholarship proposal began, the
senate's commissioners gave
their reports, and the senate
voted on Greg Jewison's Good
Friday proposal.
The senate approved a pro-posal
by Greg Jewison which
would make Good Friday a holi-day
on the university's calendar.
The approval by the senate is in-tended
to show student support
for the plan.
CELC Commissioner Tony On-drey
announced that he was
resigning as commissioner
because he had taken a job off-campus.
He recommended Stan
Plappert as his replacement.
Plappert was approved by the
senate as the new CELC Commis-sioner
later in the meeting.
TKE Senator Eric Calhoun be-gan
the debate on the scholarship
proposal by making a motion for
the approval of it. Senate Vice
President Tim Koch then moved
that the debate be limited to two
minutes per speaker. His motion
passed, and the debate began.
The debate was very lengthy. It
began at about 8:20 and lasted un-til
9:45. Both sides argued their
positions vigorously, and there
were both tense and funny mo-ments.
President Folse and Sen-ate
Parliamentarian Jim Kreiss
did their best to keep the debate
under control.
Early in the debate, Senator
Reid Rozen asked Kreiss to rule
on the constitutionality of the
scholarship proposal. Kreiss
ruled that the proposal was con-stitutional.
The proponents of the scholar-ship
often found themselves on
the defensive. Media Commis-sioner
Mike Greenburg, who
originally introduced the pro-posal,
was often called on to ex-plain
the details of the proposal
and clear up misunderstandings
about it. Greenburg and Senator
Rozen had several sharp ex-changes
during the debate.
umber5
nd
Greenburg and the senators
who supported the proposal
argued that the scholarship was
the best possible alternative use
for the money. They were sup-ported
by Dean of Students
Glenn Swichtenberg, who is the
senate's advisor.
At one point in the debate, Fer-guson
Senator Genevie McKeith-an
asked Dean Swichtenberg if
the recipients of the scholarship
would be able to decide how the
money was used. Dean Swichten-berg
explained that the Financial
Aid Office would decide how the
money was used. McKeithan then
said that if that was true, the
scholarship was not a good idea.
Other senators who opposed the
scholarship proposal argued that
the money should be used for ac-tivities
which would benefit all
the students or that not enough in-formation
had been given about
the scholarship to warrant its ap-proval.
After over an hour of debate, a
motion was made to delay the
vote on the scholarship until the
next senate meeting. This motion
was debated for ten minutes until
Parliamentarian Jim Kreiss in-formed
the senate that this mo-tion
would violate the senate's
Code of Finances. The motion
was then withdrawn.
Shortly after this, the senate
adjourned for five minutes and
both sides attempted to regroup
their forces.
The decisive vote came shortly
after the senate reconvened.
Division of the assembly was
called for. The vote was nineteen
senators for the proposal, thir-teen
senators against, and one
senator abstained. Eight
senators were absent or did not
vote.
After this vote, the senate ap-proved
the final budget for this
year. The budget was amended to
include salaries of $125 per year
for the heads of the Education
and Culture Committees. These
offices had been salaried in

Elections prove indecisive
The results of Student Senate
elections were announced late
Wednesday night by elections
chairperson John Heist.
In freshman elections, there
was no conclusive winner. 106
votes were necessary for elec-tion,
based on the 50 per cent plus
margin required for victory in all
senate elections. There was also
no winner in the race for presi-dent
of the senior class.
A run off election will be held
between the top vote getters on
Monday, October 12. Participa-tion
in the run-off for freshman
senator will be: James Copeland
(96 votes), Randy Single (53
votes), Don Mizerk (46 votes),
Steve Johnson (38 votes), and
Brenda Woods (29 votes).
In the run-off race for senior
class president will be Ann Frank
(21 votes), and Michael Wooddy
(15 votes). 29 votes were
necessary for a plurality in this
election.
Only the race for off-campus
senator was successful in choos-ing
a victor. Debora Israel, with
10 votes, was elected to the
senate. A run-off election will
take place for the remaining off-campus
seat between John
Billhorn (2 votes), and Dave
Barnes (2 votes). 10 votes were
necessary for election in this con-test.
